UPDATE ON CODE.
ok i changed it so that an ini file is written and the script refers to it for the folder path and the folder size.
so if the user nominates a folder and then loggs off his computer, and that nominated folder is changed while they are logged off, when the user reruns the script it will ask if they wish to continue to monitor the same folder. if the user clicks yes the script will retrieve the folder path and the last noted folder size and will immediately notify the user if that folder has been changed while they were away.
i have also reduced the timer spaces to make it more reliable.
Code:
#Persistent
ifexist, foldermonitor.Ini
{
MsgBox,4,, Do you want to continue to monitor current folder?
IfMsgBox Yes
{
iniread, FolderSize, foldermonitor.ini, foldermonitor, foldersize
iniread, FolderPath, foldermonitor.ini, foldermonitor, path
}
else
{
FileSelectFolder, FolderPath , , 1, select folder to monitor
Loop, %FolderPath%\*.*, , 1
FolderSize += %A_LoopFileSize%
iniwrite, %FolderPath%, foldermonitor.ini, foldermonitor, path
}
}
Else
{
FileSelectFolder, FolderPath , , 1, select folder to monitor
Loop, %FolderPath%\*.*, , 1
FolderSize += %A_LoopFileSize%
iniwrite, %FolderPath%, foldermonitor.ini, foldermonitor, path
}
SetTimer , DoThis, 10
DoThis:
Folder2Size = 0
Loop, %FolderPath%\*.*, , 1
Folder2Size += %A_LoopFileSize%
if (Folder2Size != FolderSize)
{
MsgBox, Folder has been modified
FolderSize = 0
Loop, %FolderPath%\*.*, , 1
FolderSize += %A_LoopFileSize%
}
IniWrite, %FolderSize%, foldermonitor.ini, foldermonitor, foldersize
return
